The interclass compe- tition, however, is very keen as was shown in the class basketball tournaments. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each won two games in the Round Robin, but the Juniors were declared the winners by virtue of the best offensive and defensive play in all their games. Phyllis Hullstrom was again awarded the free-throfw contest, making 7 out of 10 free shots. The tumbling team is also sponsored by this club. It performed during the ha-lves of the home games. For being on the team each member received 100 points.

FOOTBALL Dawson's 1939 football squad played their first game at Appleton. It started with good gains and Dawson held the su- premacy throughout most of the game. Scoring in the first quanter with power thrusts through the line and around the ends, the Dawson gridders gave evidence of again being contenders for the League Championship. The score was 12 to 6 in favor of Dawson. The following Friday Dawson journey- ed to Madison. The first half made us wonder if the team had let down, but they scored in the second half and the final score was 14 to 0 in our favor. A week later, Ortonville's powerful team was too much for our crippled locals. Daiw- son suffered its most severe defeat of the season, the score being 35 to 0 in favor of Qrtonville. Playing a somewhat indifferent brand of football, with the exception of the se- cond quarrter, we had little trouble in de- feating Canby in the first home game of the season. The score was 19 to 0 in our favor. The following Friday we had our Home- coming game with Clarkfield. We made no first downs and were defeated 36 to 0. The following week we played Granite Falls. Apparently on the come-back trail, our boys played their best game in several weeks to defeat the Granite Falls team. The game was largely defensive in na-ture, with our boys holding tight when the goal line w'as near their backs. The final score was 6 to 0 in favor of Dawson. The final game of the season was played at Clarlk, South Dakota. The boys made two touchdowns, but the fast and powerful Clark Eleven proved too much for us- and we were defeated 32 to 14. On the whole, we are optimistic for the future. We have some mighty good materi- al and feel confident that our boys will come through with flying colors next year.
